Second Lady Usha Vance smacked down marriage trouble rumors with Vice President JD Vance after she was spotted at a recent event in North Carolina without her wedding ring, and her response could not have been more perfect.
It all started after Usha was photographed without her ring during her and First Lady Melania Trump's visit with military families at Marine Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.

The shots surfaced on social media and later went viral, with some, including former DNC Field Director and Hillary Clinton advisor Adam Parkhomenko, speculating there was something more to it.

A spokeswoman for @SLOTUS is pushing back on speculation about her and the @VP's marriage after she was spotted this week not wearing her wedding ring. Usha Vance is "a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes," the spokeswoman told @dcexaminer.
Another outlet shared a similar statement from the Second Lady's spokesperson and provided several shots from other events that Vance has participated in that backed the claim that she is just a busy mom of young kids.
There’s actually a number of photos of Usha Vance not wearing her wedding ring, including during her visit with the VP to PA earlier this year/last week when she visited wounded veterans at Walter Reed.

We searched the Associated Press photo site and can vouch that there are numerous photos of Usha Vance over the last several months at various events showing her not wearing her wedding ring. So, why this got attention this time around is anyone's guess.
But I really did love her response. She's a real mom of three young kids, who washes dishes, gives them baths, and doesn't want to lose her ring in the tub or sink. Moms can definitely relate to this.
Usha is real, not fake like the last Second and then First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, and that makes her a frequent target of the left.
